JK Rowling, Lindsay Lohan and More Celebs React to Brexit Vote-- Britain Leaving the European Union

The United Kingdom made history on Thursday, when they voted to "Brexit" the European Union, to the shock of many around the world.

The referendum result -- which saw a 33 million voter turn out, with U.K. media outlets reporting a 52 to 48 percent decision in favor of the exit --
was announced early Friday morning, and the British pound hit its lowest level since 1985. Prime Minister David Cameron also resigned.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan -- who's been living in London -- was live tweeting as the decision came down but later deleted those messages. "Good luck with the pound," one tweet read. "Will take you about 15 years to get it back up #REMAIN instead."

From pop star Ellie Goulding to Veep's Hugh Laurie, take a look at how other stars are reacting to Brexit.

Ellie Goulding: "Heartbroken to hear the news. ...I truly believe this is one of the most devastating things to happen during my lifetime. I felt a fear I've never felt this morning."

Jaime King: "That was f**king intense UK. We are with you during this time."
